A word from the co-founder

“My different encounters with the Tuareg population have marked my life. What marked me most was the beauty of their culture and their hospitality even though they live in the most difficult living conditions.
The Tuareg are nomads that live in the desert, one of the most hostile places on earth. They live in the area called Sahel/Sahara divided over 5 different countries, namely Mali, Niger, Algeria, Libya and Burkina Faso.
I have seen how they have to struggle to survive without any aid from the local governments. These confrontations with the reality of their lives have created the desire in me to help them with their fundamental needs.”
